I Was Possessed By An Unknown Manga

We returned to the West Wing, where we had previously used the dressing room.

And the West Building of Tokyo Big Sight is the headquarters of corporate booths.

Unlike the East Hall, where ordinary participants participate with doujinshi, the corporate booths in the West Building were full of official goods made by the company.

Of course, it is much more expensive than Dongin goods as it is labeled as official.

Nevertheless, there was a clear demand.

Because otaku are buying things even though they are aware that they are black cattle.

“……”

And I also fell into that trap.

At first, I was only planning to take a quick look, but my footsteps inadvertently stopped in front of JUMP’s official booth.

“Why? Ryu-chan? Is there anything you want to buy?”

“Oh, yes. I’m a bit drawn to Sasuke’s phone case.”

Saying so, I pointed to the goods displayed in the jump booth.

“Ah, that one. These are the new goods that came out this time.”

Rika, knowing that I’m a true Musashi-sensei fan, smiles bitterly.

At that time, Lisa, who was listening to our story, spoke up.

“Can I buy you one?”

I waved my hand in surprise.

“Yes? No, no, you don’t have to. I have money too.”

“Ah~ You don’t have to decline. How much do you do that?”

Lisa-san said so, and confidently entered the jump booth.

Then someone came out of the booth and greeted us.

“Come on~ What things are you looking for… Madam?!”

Young man raising his voice with a surprised expression.

Lisa-san also recognized his face, or pretended to know.

“Is Sanada-san on duty today?”

“Oh, yes. I just happened to be like that. Hehe.”

Saying that, the man scratched the back of his head as if embarrassed.

“Someone?”

“Ah, this is Yusuke Sanada, the editor of Jump. I used to be my husband’s editor.”

When I heard that, I said hello.

“Hello. My name is Kim Yoo-seong.”

“Hey, Korean?”

“I am a Korean-Japanese.”

“There is one Korean in our editorial department. That person is also Mr. Kim, are you a relative?”

“Probably not. Kim in Korea is like Yamada in Japan.”

When I said that and smiled bitterly, Sanada-san said, “I think so too.”

“Well, by the way, what are you going to buy?”

“Ah, I’m going to buy a phone case in front of this. How much does it cost?”

“Ah~ What kind of money do you get between your wife and me? Just take one.”

“Oh, can I?”

“At first, I was going to send you some prototypes, but it worked. Why don’t you take some of your favorite things with you?”

Saying so, Sanada-san went into the back of the booth and came out with a box of various things.

There were quite a few things in it even to pretend.

In addition to Sasuke’s Instruction Book, it probably contained some of the goods being displayed at the booth.

“It’s okay to take all of this.”

“Oh my, my.”

Lisa held one cheek with her hand and gave a troubled expression.

“Thank you, but we’re in this state right now, so it’s difficult to carry things around.”

“Ah, yes. Then please listen to me for a moment before you die. I’ll keep this for you.”

Sanada-san said so and put down the box.

“Huh? Come to think of it, is this your daughter Rika-san?”

Then Rika bowed her head awkwardly.

“Hello. Sanada-san.”

“It’s been a long time, so I didn’t recognize you for a moment.”

“The last time I saw it was when I was in elementary school.”

“Has the years passed already? Rather than that, cosplaying with my mother is a good hobby.”

Sanada-san said so and gave a thumbs up.

Somehow, he looks like a normal person, but it seems that this person is also an otaku after all.

“Then I’ll go soon. Sanada-san looks busy too, so take a look at your work.”

“Oh, yes. Come in. Madam.”

After saying goodbye, we left the jump booth.

“It’s fine. Yooseong-kun. You can come and find me after the event.”

“Yes. Thank you.”

“Huhu, I gave you precious time, but this is nothing.”

Lisa, who smiled brightly as she said that, clapped her hands to refresh the atmosphere.

“Then, shall we go to work soon?”

“Yes?”

“Oh? I’m also a professional cosplayer. I participated in this Comiket at the request of the company.”

Having said that, Lisa pointed to a place that boasted a fairly large scale among corporate booths.

“That’s where we’re going.”

It was the booth of Pentagon, the maker of Last Fantasy 7 that we cosplayed.

Last Fantasy 7

It is a JRPG that was released about 20 years ago.

At that time, Sophia, who was everyone’s lover, and the character Baou, who was an enemy but wanted to call him older, seemed to remain as good memories for those who played the game at the time.

And we were now taking pictures at the booth of Pentagon, the game company that made The Last Fantasy 7.

“I have to take a picture, so please look here!”

click! click! click! click!

Previously, we were dealing with the general public, but this time, people armed with professional equipment are taking pictures of us in the photo zone.

Lisa, who is taking a picture with me, was posing very naturally, whether I should call her a professional or not.

It’s a new feeling, but if you look at it this way, you can only see them as older sisters, with a slight age difference between Rika and Rika.

Maybe there’s makeup too, but it’s basically just a little girl, so it’s possible.

“Okay! Good!”

While I was thinking about something else for a moment, people who looked like they came out of a magazine or a newspaper were taking pictures eagerly.

Shooting on stage or in the studio in this way seems to be post-processed in Photoshop later.

“Baou-san! Please raise your sword nicely!”

As the photographer requested, he took a pose that looked like a rowing ceremony, and cheers erupted from all sides.

After such a hectic time passed, and the photo time was over, we sat down on chairs to take a break.

“Ah~ I’m tired~ My legs are swollen~”

Maria said so and rubbed her thigh.

It was the most age-appropriate behavior I had seen today.

At that time, Rika, who watched us filming from a distance, handed me a water bottle and asked.

“How is it? Ryu-chan? Is it worth filming?”

“No, it’s very difficult.”

To be honest, when I was offered cosplay, I didn’t expect this kind of situation.

“But I’m glad it’s all over now. Good job. Ryu-chan.”

Rika said so and smiled warmly.

‘what? Are you an angel?’

I thought so for a while.

“Rika, do you have anything Mama?”

“yes.”

“Too much.”

Lisa pretended to cry as she said that, but her daughter Rika didn’t blink.

It was when I was watching the conversation between the two from the perspective of a third person.

“Hello! Senior!”

With a soft voice, someone suddenly greeted me.

“Umm, that one?”

Maria, who had been rubbing here and there saying that she had a sore throat, went to see where she went, and when she returned with LISA’s face, she was greeted with ease.

“My name is Sakuya, who debuted as a professional cosplayer this time. Please take care of me♥”

Saying that, she suddenly greeted me and suddenly held out her business card.

Lisa asked as she received a business card.

“What did you come here for?”

“Ah, no other than that, I’ve been a big fan of seniors even before my debut. Can I get some autographs?”

Saying so, she handed a sign and magic.

Then, Lisa signed autographs skillfully.

“thank you!”

Saying that, a man named Sakuya bowed his head, looked at me for a moment and left immediately.

“Something comes and goes like the wind. Do you have any promises?”

Then Lisa shrugged her shoulders and said.

“That’s because you came to spy on us.”

“Spying?”

“After a popularity vote among the contestants who cosplayed today, the organizers decided to give them a present. Perhaps they came to analyze our team’s power because our team is one of the strong candidates for the championship.”

“ah.”

It was then that I realized that a cosplayer named Sakuya didn’t come here with pure intentions.

“Anyway, let’s move slowly. It’s been a while since we’ve rested.”

Lisa said that and got up from her seat.

“Are you still working?”

When I asked the question with a terrified expression, Lisa-san shrugged and answered.

“It’s the popularity vote I just mentioned. You still have to check the results.”

***

The place of the final battle.

It was an outdoor event stage set in front of the Dongguan, lined with corporate booths.

The MC, who seemed to have been hired for today’s event, called the names of the participants in turn, and then the cosplay teams participating in this Comiket came up one by one and appealed their charm.

The composition of the event itself feels like an upper version of the swimsuit contest I did at the beach last time.

“By the way, our goal is to win.”

“Yeah?! It’s the beginning of the gold hour?!”

“What you do, you have to hit it with all your might so you won’t regret it later, right?”

“……”

I hate being persuaded by these words.

But since you’ve already come this far, it’s true that it’s already too late to go back.

So, I made up my mind and decided to go on to the final stage.

“Well then! Participation number 7! Team Sophia & Baou, please come up!”
